You'll need a combination of quick thinking and sharp reflexes if you don't want to succumb to the pressure.

An interesting game with an interesting concept.. Trying to keep a track of score while number fields shift about. I wouldn't be as negative as some people here have been. Sure, the UI could do with a bit of attention, but if you're just here to play the maths game, it's okay.
The game itself is highly repetitive, and like most score-chasers, the aim of the game is just to stay "alive" as long as you can before you inevitably fail. It does feel interesting doing maths in your head as a game, and playing it does have a sense of purity.
However, it's a "five minute" score chaser game that you'll fire up when you're bored and just want to do something different.
If I could give it a "meh", then I would. It's not bad, but it's not great. It does what it sets out to, nothing more, nothing less. It's basically minesweeper with a maths element.
Pressured is a "game" that you will see in your nightmares. One of the worst logic games i've ever played. The music is annoying, the fullscreen resolution is horrible and the meat of the game - its 'puzzles' are meant to be played by a five-year-old, but not by a grown-up. I felt despair and anger when i tried to click those numbers to make a certain sum, because on hard levels it becomes a simple button mashing without any sense. Do not ever buy this thing, even for steam cards
The premise of Pressured is simple but relatively hard to master. In each level, you are assigned a target number. Your goal is to click on numbers that add up to that target number before the pressure meter fills up. As you click on numbers, your current sum is shown on the top of the screen so that you can keep track of how far off from the target number you are. On the bottom of the screen, you'll be advised as to how many times you need to reach your target number before advancing to the next level. Each time you successful reach the target, some pressure is relieved, in essence, adding more time to complete the level. Easy peasy, right? NOPE! The grid where the numbers are located is constantly shifting. Numbers flash on the screen for no more than a second before new numbers appear, bombs randomly appear (resetting your sum to 0) , and a "2X" symbol occasionally pops up (doubling your current sum). Points are earned for each correct target hit and points are lost for hitting bombs or going over the target number. You will need to stay sharp or you will fall to the pressure!
It's insanely addicting and an intruiging game. The game is meant to a quick burst of action but you will find yourself trying to best your score after every game. And for under $3 USD, you can't go wrong!
This game is bad.
The gameplay is not good. And the game is expensive so you have to wait for a good deal if you want to buy it. Hard and long game so you have to play a lot.
But you can get trading cards.
The game has a pretty simple and on paper a cool concept, but it lacks a proper option menu, has annoying music, a horrible font that is more than unreadable and is overall not worth any money.
It does what it is supposed to do, although it is not a cool loking game per se. Everything in it can be a bit ugly, as the TVs and the numbers in the TVs. But the game runs fine and if you like it you can have a pretty good time at it.
It doesn't lie about what the game is about, but I wouldn't recommend it at all. You essentially click the numbers and add them up to another number within a time limit.
I'd rather play with a calculater.
Donkey Kong Jr. Math did the same idea and did it better. And that game wasn't all that great either.
Boring music, boring sounds, lackluster presentation, pretentious 'story'.
I understand the creator is pretty active wthin the community, so kudos on getting a game on steam, but you're not gonna take the world by storm with this.
1. I bought it for the cards(It was on sale).
2. got some kinda unkown cancer.
3. had it in my background while giving me cards.
4. more cancer.
5. got my cards sold them.
6. alot more cancer.
7. uninstalled this s**tty game.
8. wrote a nice comment in front of how sh***y this game is.....
I bought this game on sale for $0.29, simply due to the fact that it has trading cards I could probably sell for more than that.
I am having a hard time playing this game long enough to even get the card drops. It's just a stressful game that doesn't give any sort of rewarding feeling for going through said stress. It reminds me of playing a chill game like solitaire, but with a countdown timer and bomb noises going off rushing you through your plays. Maybe some people enjoy this but I don't myself.
I plan on getting the trading cards, uninstalling the game, and never playing it again.
Game sucks. Bad music. Bad choice of lettering and poorly filled in letters and numbers to boot. Crappy background. Plot is unintelligable at the start and good luck getting to any more of it.
So the over all feel of the game is. Anoyed by music, squinting at numbers you can't quite see; all while the game quickly pressures you out of time. It's the opposite of fun.
Yes, I bought it only for cards, I don't know why I thought I will make a little profit out of them.
And yes, I had that littley little faith in that game, maybe it will catch my attention for some time, maybe it has some hidden meanings, maybe it has some interesting gameplay mechanics, great memorable soundtracks, visuals.
It doesn't.
Warning: the game is difficult!
Having received some interesting info from the developer (the game is made in an interesting way), I made progress and managed to get a much better score at the game. I still feel its very difficult even at "easy" level (getting to level 5 means instant game over for me, for example, pressure builds so fast I can't even get 2 sums before Game Over).
However, if you play it seriously, the game's interesting. For someone who loves math puzzles :)
Among the things I'd improve/change:
- slightly longer times for numbers before they disappear (they still disappear too soon for me, I can't read them and find the right number before it disappears and is replaced by a different number);
- less eroded fonts, as they're hard to read, especially on transparent numbers that are about to disappear.
- added: pressure should drop significantly when a sum is completed. A game is only fun when its do-able, not impossible on Easy (for me its impossible as it is now).
Speaking of fons, I like the font used to write the game's name, and its not eroded.
But it could be just me being bad at this game. Game is somewhat fun, but hard to play, I can't play it for long time (I can't lose without getting pressured :P ).
-edit-
gave it another try and yup, at lvl 5 easy mode, my pressure doesn't seem to go down even when I complete a sum, if it was shaking, its still shaking afterwards.
This is one of the most frustrating puzzle games I have ever played. The numbers you need to select to sum up to reach a given amount move so fast that, even on easy, you'll find some hell of a challenge.
For 90% off, it was not a big deal, as the game has cards that, once sold, pratically paid the game. I had to turn off the in-game music after a couple of seconds (very annoying), and got tired of it fast, so I uninstalled it after getting the 3 cards. Buy only if you want a real challenge, don't mind the lack of polish, and don't expect a lot.
This game definitely apppeals to the mathematician in me, and while I have said I recommend this game, I only do so to those who have: a logical mind, a mathematical mind, a person who enjoys puzzles or a person who wants to improve any of the previous points.
This game is interesting in a puzzle sense, but it is not remotely aesthetically pleasing or even polished. A better version of this game could be programmed in your browser, look better, and not cost any money.
You click cards to total to a predefined sum, gaining points by reaching that sum and not going over. It is not uncommon, however, for the game simply to not give you that card you need to reach the sum. For example, if the sum is 10, and you currently have 9 points, there will be no 1-point cards.
It's a neat concept for a game, but you're better off buying pretty much any other puzzle game. If you're going to spend money on a Steam puzzler, get one with decent graphics that doesn't look like it was made in some high school intro-to-programming class.
I was hoping for a math-related puzzle game.
I got an extremely fast-paced arithmetic exercise that would not have been out of place in my second-grade math class. While I suppose this does technically fit the above criteria, it was certainly not what I was looking for.
I love numbers and to train my brain and this game is perfect for those purposes; increase your stress immunity, become better at math (or summing numbers), increase your reaction time/alertness and maybe your creativity (in getting the target sum)?
There's also some sort of story related to 14 unlockables, each with a requirement. F.e. you have to unlock 'Normal' mode to unlock a part of a story or gain a certain score = motivating :) This really makes the game and for its current price, only €0,74, I'm thinking of just storing some copies in my library...really!
Pressured, as far as i can tell is simply this: it's a dynamic sodoku puzzle in which the numbers are always changing. You add them to a sum by clicking on the numbers you need, but heres the catch: there's a dynamic time limit... one that changes with every mistake and success you make and it takes the form of a "pressure bar" which is on the right side. Very steampunk. The unlockables in this game consist of 15 bits of story and the two difficulties beyond easy. I would reccomend this game if you like having to do split second addition problems or you are just looking for a frustrating puzzle game.
For this price, I cannot complain much when the idea of the game has been satisfactorily presented. And this game is fine. The font is a bit odd as well as the theme color. but it's still tolerable. One flaw concerning the gameplay is that when you add up to just 1 less than the target with your sum (e.g. target is 45, you have already 44), there is nearly NO number 1 appearing (I have to say 'nearly' coz I've not been playing long). As the clock ticking, considering the fact that redoing the whole adding up would cause even more time, I normally decide to wait. And the 1 NEVER shows up!
